Fathers and Sons

Our ward had its annual Fathers and Sons camp out last weekend.

Every time I go camping with the scouts, Drew wants to come along. “This one probably isn’t good for little dudes, buddy,” is my typical response.

So Drew was super excited to get to come along this time. Starting about two weeks before the outing, Drew would ask me each night as I put him down to bed, “We’re going camping tomorrow, right Daddy?”

We went up to a group site near Soldier Hollow golf course in Midway. Not exactly roughing it, but far enough away that we didn’t get a great turnout.

The sparse attendance didn’t stop us from having a great time though. We cooked chili dogs for dinner and Jacob and Drew played with their buddies until way too late. In the middle of the night, Drew sat up and yelled loudly for no apparent reason, waking Jacob and me. Then he yelled, “I’m coming!” and laid right back down and slept. Jacob and I chuckled, and went back to bed ourselves. We had a good breakfast in the morning, packed up, and went home. A successful outing.
